"Conventional crimper designs can often make a simple crimp even more difficult because the technician has to fight access to the location as well as the tool itself," said Dirk Skogerboe, aftermarket product manager, professional specialty tools at Service Solutions, LLC.

The tool’s angled design keeps the connector parallel to the pliers - improving the ability to insure wire is properly seated in the connector as well as securing a durable, robust crimp, says OTC.
